Re: restoring msgs from TBB file
Hi Greg, I've never tried it, but I thought that I'd mention the potential received date issue. I know many moons ago when I first started using TB I imported from Unix type message base exported from VA. IIRC the received date changed to whenever I imported the messages. I don't know if this is the case with when importing from TBB files. Can confirm that the original Received Date has stayed intact on importing from TBB file. This must have been fixed at some point ... -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Indigenous Australian infants die at almost three times the rate of other Australian infants.

Unix mailboxes include a received date and that is imported correctly. However, in my experience importing from eml, and msg formats and the mailbox import wizard all set the received date to be the time and date of import. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

restoring msgs from TBB file
Hello TBUDL, I use an archive folder each for Sent Messages and Received Messages ... via various filters messages from most of my accounts end up here sooner or later. I think of it as a retirement village ; ) Trouble is most of the contents of these folders disappeared at some point a little while ago. Messages going back years. I don't know why but suspect it was an over-zealous or buggy filter that did it. Now I have backups of the TBB files from before, but don't know how to restore their contents while still keeping what is in the archive folders now (ie the latest archive messages from the last few months).

Create a new folder in TheBat. The exit the program. Copy a messages.TBB file you want to import to the new folder (file system level). Delete the existing messages.TBI (index) file of the folder you newly created. Re-start TheBat. Messages should be there (I hope *g*), and the new index file will be re-created automatically.

Re: restoring msgs from TBB file
Tools/Import/Import from allows you to directly import from TBB files. So it does! Do you happen to know if it appends or replaces messages? and whether it asks which folder you want them imported to?

Re: restoring msgs from TBB file
Hello djb, Do you happen to know if it appends or replaces messages? and whether it asks which folder you want them imported to? As far as I know, all imports are to the folder you have selected in the folder tree. So, first select the folder you w3ant to import to and then do the Import... Imported messages do not replace any messages already in the folder. What may happen is that you end up with some duplicate messages if some of the imported ones were already in your folder. I just tried but it comes up straight away with the 'Open File' dialogue with no indication what comes next... That is correct. What you have to do on the 'Open file' dialoque is select the TBB file you want to import and click OK. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
